These are the sandals that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a comfortably soft, stabilizing orthotic footbed that provides superior arch support. The deep heel cups are molded into the sandals' shock-absorbing EVA footbeds, aligning the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate, when the heel bone angles inward, a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. A medical study conducted by a panel of physicians confirmed that participants who wore the sandals experienced a 90% decrease in pronation, improving their gait mechanics. Completely waterproof, the soles are made from resilient rubber molded with a non-slip pattern. The toe straps are padded with foam. The biomechanical footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the sandals are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Men's sizes 5-12; Women's sizes 6-13. For men's half-sizes, order the next size up. For women's half sizes, order the next size down. Khaki or Black. (1 1/2 lbs.)

This shoe will only fit someone with a very thin (top to bottom) foot. The length and width was perfect; however, the strap to insole was too shallow. The strap needs to be adjustable if they are going to use the same shoe for both men and women.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was told I should never ware flip flops because they aggravate my plantar faciitis. I tried these and found the support they provide is outstanding and I have never had a repeat of my plantar faciitis even after wearing them all day for consecutive days. They are extremely durable, very comfortable and look good on. One cannot tell they are a so called "orthotic sandal". They look like any other flip flop but give the necessary arch support needed. I have tried cheaper ones but was not satisfied at all. These are pricey but well worth the money. I only wish they had more color choices than gray and black. The gray ones are great though as they don't show much soiling.

The only suggestion I have is that if you're a half size (i.e., 8.5, 9.5, etc), then I recommend ordering a size up. I'm an 8.5 and ordered an 8 per the instructions on the site to order down. While the shoe covers my feet, I would have felt more comfortable if I had ordered a 9.

these sandals immediately relieve most the pain from my fasciitis especially after being off my feet or first thing in the morning when walking was nearly impossible. the sandal bed is comfortable and firm to provide excellent support.Wear time for me is limited due to the chaffing of the straps - both on the sides of my foot and between my big and second toe.
